The sun was >seen yesterday, but the sea created by the storm of the previous day had not subsided, and the steamers Murray and Charles Kdward remained in harbor— -at Hokitika and Westport. Of .the Murray it is said by the West Coast Times that •'she essayed to go out for Greymouth on Monday, but by some fortuitous, circumstance she dut not proceed, and returned to the wharf for the night." Of the Charles Edward it is reported that she had some heavy weather to Westport, and that Messrs. Seaton and Davidson lost a considerable proportion of their stock. The Omeo has evidently gone on ' to .Newcastle, with West Coast mails, cargo, and , passengers — the passengers, according to one authority, numbering twentyfive. . The, Titan had not returned to Hokitika yesterday from the Maast, and it is doubtful if the Waipara got intothelastmentioned port. If she did not, the condition "of her passengers may be " more easily imagined than described." The schooners Crest of the Wave and Mary OgUvie, both from this port with cargoes of coal, arrived at Port Chalmers on the 18th inst. The Daily Times remarks : — " The Mary Ogilvie, which catae up to Dunedin yesterday," brings about 100 tons of Greymouth coaL The cargo is consigned to Mr G-. S. Brodrick, and consumers of this article will now have.an opportunity of deciding whether the Greymouth coal bears out the favorable reports which have been made concerning it." The : fitting up of the hull of the steamer Clutha for a Lightship, as far as the carpenters' work is concerned is expected to be completed to-day, and the vessel taken out of Jackson Bros.' Dock on Monday No time will; afterwards: be lost by the Harbor Department in haying her placed in position off the Timaru Bank at the lower part of the Cross Channel. This Lightship will be No. 1 of New-Zealand, and wul prove a boon to coasters and others coming in from or going to sea at night time.— Otago Daily Times. The weather along the; Victorian coast must have been very severe at the time the fatality to Captain. Rouse, of the Claud Hamilton, occurred. Captain Grey, of the Loch' Lomond, reports that on the same day he experienced the roughest g >le he had ever seen during his eleven years' command trading to the Colonies. In justice to the owners^of the Claud Hamilton, it must' be mentioned, how that there is such, ahue-and-cry about ships being, too deeply laden that the vessel on this occasion • was only in ballast trim. -Age. : . •
